Dinosaurs on the Ark: How It Was Possible

[Job 33:6]

I've heard the creationist claim to have the same facts but different interpretation.

Yea, well a lot of people say a lot of things. I could say that I am an astronaut. Or I could say that astrology is backed by the scientific method, but there are many questions that they can't actually resolve upon inquiry, such as "why are dinosaurs only in the Mesozoic and not the cenozoic or Paleozoic?".

As someone said above, they usually either just go into some form of denial, or they attempt to fabricate information such as human tracks inside t rex tracks, or they fall back on obscure images of dinosaur cave paintings or things like this.

 

[Job 33:6]

As opposed to "facting" a fabrication?

And there are trillions of fossils in the fossil record, discovered. They're everywhere around all of us. Dependency on a single skeleton from the 1920s as a counter argument is kind of like saying that cars aren't real because someone made one out of cardboard at some point in history. It doesn't really address the question of why the fossil succession exists as it does. Unless of course someone believed that all fossils of all museums, or perhaps the vast majority at least, were fabrications.

But needless to say, such a conclusion would involve a pretty extreme conspiracy theory. Even I myself would have to be in on the conspiracy, having done research in paleontology. And I just can't accept that conclusion.

And there are trillions of fossils in the fossil record, discovered.

Uh-huh. And I'm Genghis Khan.

Of those trillion, how many are marine invertebrates? how many are the same kind of animal? and how many are the same animal itself?

I could dig my great-great-great Labrador Retriever up, blow his skeleton to a million pieces, then claim I have a million fossils.

So, where are they?

A bunch of Dinosaurs are in Florida.

 

[Frank Robert]

So, where are they?

Is estimated that there are 18000 avian dinosaur species with over 400 billion individuals.

 

[Subduction Zone]

I sure don't know of any.

But I know Who does.

Actually you don't. All you have is a mere belief. As your old buddy says "If you can't show it you don't know it".

 

[Subduction Zone]

A bunch of Dinosaurs are in Florida.

This statement is true. I can provide pictures of them if requested.

Since "kind" is a nonsensical word as you used it I would say none of them. Or all of them.

Oh . . . Wait a second. 400 billion birds in Florida? I am never parking my car outside in that state

[Frank Robert]

Nevertheless it’s still inconclusive evidence. At best it’s a wild hypothesis

I wouldn't call the consilience of evidence surrounding one of the most well-known human ancestor fossils a wild hypothesis but you are entitled to your own opinion just not your own facts.

 

[Frank Robert]

If I said they were 400 billion I was wrong that should have in the world. I have enough on my hands with my 2 dinos.

I understood. Just having fun. But can you think of it?

What terrible lizards!

Has anyone deployed extra-dimensional ark theory yet?

 

[Akita Suggagaki]

Dinosaurs drowned in the flood.
Just to stir the pot.

Nebraska Man - Wikipedia

"Nebraska Man" was not widely accepted by scientists at the time, and what's more is that further study of the fossils found at that site is what lead to finding out it was from an ancestor of piggies. The skeptical reactions from scientists regarding this "discovery" are plentiful. The paleontologist who originally received the tooth and wrote the original publication even made it a point to say it was too soon to tell what it was exactly.

 

[AV1611VET]

Has anyone deployed extra-dimensional ark theory yet?

Does that pen in your pocket exist in 8 other dimensions?

If so, wouldn't the Ark as well?

If not, M-theory can take a hike?

Preferable to letting other people decide for me.

You mean like the people who wrote the Bible?
